Description of issue:

Can’t select my path to store TV shows. I have a ZFS pool at /storage. I have a tv subfolder in there. It is a local folder, not remote. I tried chown -R sonarr /storage/tv but it still does not work. I would change sonarr to use my local account instead of user sonarr but I don’t know how. The webpage linked on the FAQ is for windows only and is broken anyway.

User sonarr did not have execute permissions on the folder /storage, so could not enter that folder even though it owned a subfolder.

It works after:

sudo chmod 755 /storage

and

sudo chown -R sonarr /storage/tv

Actually user sonarr should not own the destination folder unless the downloader is running under the same account. For me sabnzbd runs on my main user account and it lost write permissions in that folder so I switched it back. Sonarr only needs execute permissions on the folder to see iniside it. I’ll just give everybody rwx permissions. Hopefully that fixes everything.
